My friends and I spent many a Saturday afternoon at the National Theatre. I grew in Boston’s South End right across from the theatre on Hanson St. The street directly across from the theatre is called Milford St. In the 50s and 60s on a Saturday afternoon we would see a double feature, newsreel, cartoons, trailers, wacky races and more for a 15 cent admission!! When it was torn down in 1997, I went to the site and retrieved two bricks from the building to keep as a momento of a time gone by.
